A dinosaur in Leeds.

Well, The Doggers is correct in that it has been "dug up", but maybe not in the traditional paeleontology sense. And Brandy has kindly posted a picture of very much the sort of creature it seems to be.So the above is a pic of said dinosaur. I'm not imagining it am I?That is a deliberate dinosaur, I'm sure. The drawn line on the pic is 100ft to give an idea of the scale.Location not revealed yet as I'm sure that someone will know where it is, and will therefore be able to say why it is there! To create something that size is no small task, so what's the secret here?

Rikj.... Are you going to explain this? Please : )No idea where it is and would like to know

Certainly, though I'm afraid I can't explain it, an explanation is what I'm looking for myself.This is in Rothwell Country Park, viewed in the post above on Google Earth. Haven't yet seen it from the ground, indeed I don't even know if it would be visible on foot.The following link takes you to the view using Flashearth if you don't have Google Earth. Just click on the Flashearth logo to see the aerial pic, then use the + and - to zoom in/out to orient yourself.Plink!Hope that makes sense.
